Renowned American actor James Pickens Jr, who is best known for his role as Dr Richard Webber in the medical drama show Grey's Anatomy, has reportedly revealed that he has been diagnosed with prostate cancer. This revelation has shocked fans, and they took to social media platforms to express their concern.
Is James Pickens Jr diagnosed with prostate cancer?
According to reports, recently, during the midseason finale episode, ABC aired a public service announcement after the credits in which the actor revealed he was diagnosed with prostate cancer. In the video he shared, "One in eight men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime," said Pickens Jr in the video. "For Black men, the risk is even higher. Fortunately, prostate cancer is highly treatable, but early detection is the key, and sometimes there are no noticeable symptoms."
"Today, I'm living proud that early detection works. If you're Black, or if prostate cancer runs in your family, talk to your doctor about getting screened, starting at age 40," he added.
Soon after the video aired, many took to social media and emphasised that he was earlier diagnosed and it is to bring awareness. One user wrote, “They're raising awareness for prostate cancer, which has been rising at an alarming rate and is more likely to kill Black men. This is something that James Pickens jr. himself faced and obviously wanted to bring attention to. That is the point.”
